I have an intermitent issue where the electric fan kicks in and i get check engine light. Car then runs badly. Fanalo come son just with ignition on an and not with engine running. I have taken off temp sensor and cleaned it up and car runs ok but problem does return eventually. Have used a connector cleaner this morning and it doesn't come onon ignition. To check it i disconnected temp sensor and put ignition on and the fan doesn't kick in.... so now i have no idea what's going on ! Any idea ?

Hi, Just thought I would post this as it has been a bit of a pain to get the right fittings together. basically I wanted to convert the fuel supply and return lines to AN fittings so that my entire fuel set up is solid. The fiittings I used (and there may be others) are an 5/16" to -5JIC hardline connector, which then accepts -8JIC x 1/2"UNF adapter - looks like this: And bunged to keep the crap out... It was only about £13.00 for all of the above. ;) Hop ethis helps someone else save some time and money ;-))

In the BIG nissan book it says at the FPR is should be 43.4 psi But reading back on other threads they say its lower? So what should the pressure read on idle?

i want my wing mirrors to open and close as to the car turns off and on , now were about is the best live wire to do this or is it impossible as you need the switch on fully for them to come out.

I have still had trouble with the car running which has been very frustrating :headvswal Basically up yo 3500 revs the car reall struggled and then once the turbo spooled up it went well but it was very hard to get to that point. The worry was a chip wasn't going to work and I would need stand alone management which although a long term plan is out of my budget at the moment. Whilst working on the car to address the overheating issue I had the airfilter off for more room when working, ran the car up to temp to check on the heat issue but while moving about the car I was surprised at the force of suction into the inlet. Originally I had two smaller cotton gauze filters for…

Can someone please post a photo as above. My targas keep leaking. Despite loads of suggestions on here with possible fixes they still pxxs in when it rains. I'm wondering if at some point in the past the 'A' pillar covers & the trim that the targa 'bolts' go into have been removed & not put back correctly. A photo would help me to eliminate that possibility. thanks in advance!

Right, waiting on a engine crane being delivered, and would like to know if i take out the A/C pump and leave it off will this affect anything else apart from weight and the obvious fact i wont have A/C, will it effect the heating for winter in anyway? also what else can i safely remove that's not necessary as a weight saving exercise? while i have the new engine here.

can anyone tell me how much a genuine nissan cambelt will cost for my g reg 300zx tt ?

Hi, Couple of weeks ago I did a test overlay on the small scuttle piece below the windscreen today - I must emphasize that this was a damaged piece of Carbon Fibre Twill - in fact the last bit off of a roll - and it was stuck to the cardboard role and had been therefore stretched out of line so anyway... First I rubbed it over with some 60 and eventually sprayed it black. Then did the usual layer of resin - waited for it go super tacky - and placed the CF over the piece and pressed it in all those important likkle places ;-)) After about 20 mins I poured a floodcoat of surfboard resin over and left it to dry in my workshop oven. When cured I trim…

I have a water temp gauge fitted but want to change it to another one, is it just a matter of swapping them over using the previouse wiring or would it not be accurate?

Hi Been looking at the Oil Temp gauge , and was wondering where would be the most likely place for the sensor to be placed, (i think it is between the oil filter and the block, but not sure) and how do i get at it? Regards rich

As Above? Just about to buy some HID`S for my z32, It says on the listing; PLEASE ENSURE YOU CHECK YOUR VEHICLE IS H1 FITMENT AS MODELS DO VARY Thanks DaZ

Another day another problem just had the right downpipe off to change the gasket as it was blowing and got a couple of problems need help on. As i was removing the O2 sensor wire i think i may off pulled off a pipe looks like vacuum advance for something. Im not too clued up on all the sensors so bare with me. It goes from the right rear of the engine to a sensor/valve in the centre rear of the engine see pics.

OK how can you tell if you have HIDs or not, and where would be the most likely place to put the ballast. as im not sure if i have them or not, i have xenon bulbs in which leads me to believe that i have them, but not too sure.
